HINCH AND FLARRITY FOR ABREU AND CROCHETT

His stretch between 2005-2007 was pretty good: ERA+ 112 124 124 WAR 4.5 5.3 6.0

They both (this one and the one in Butler) looked fake, and if any administration was going to do two fake assassination attempts, it would be this one, but I don't think they were staged. A staged assassination attempt requires too many people to be on board and I think somebody would leak it. Someone got killed in the first one and don't think they would be able to get everyone on board with murder. Nobody got killed in this one (not yet), but I still don't believe everyone would be on board.

It all comes from the same person

Need to fire some women and Blacks.

He's not coming back. He is pretending to want to come back, but is letting law enforcement make the decision.

The real video was just as bad though.

no, last year was the year he got 25 million. This is the year he is sucking up another 20 million...so far.

Did Chas miss a joke that flew right over his head?

You can't predict bullpens. That's why you still need to build around starters which is what the Tigers have mostly done. The bullpen needs to do better than this though.

He has no intellect at all. He is smart enough to know how to bully and manipulate people which I think isn't all that difficult when you've got money. He is also dumb enough to allow smarter people to manipulate him.

I was watching the game on youtube TV. The Tigers were leading 4-0. I went to get a quick snack and Baez was at the plate when I came back. This was weird because that would have been three batters batting in like one minute. Baez then crushed a home run to center field and I am thinking it was a flashback to earlier in the inning. But it wasn't. The game had gone back in time to Baez's previous at bat. YouTube TV is weird. Either that or that was quite a snack.

What do they intend to accomplish here?

By definition, he is now no longer underrated!

But the ball getting trapped in a uniform has been ruled to be a deadball. If that happened in foul territory, it still would not be an out according to the rule. In the catcher example, if the ball did not get lodged in the mask and instead the catcher just didn't catch the ball on a third strike, the batter would be allowed to run to first. This sounds to me analagous to what happened in Gilbert's case.
